Enzyme Lesson

How do enzymes speed up chemical reaction?

• Increasing activation energy
• Decreasing activation energy
• Increasing deactivation energy
• Decreasing deactivation energy

What is a substance called if it speeds up a chemical reaction?

• catalyst
• specific
• fragile

Each enzyme only has 1 substrate that will fit its active site.  What is this called?

• reusablility
• denaturation
• specificity
• fragility

With what 3 letters do enzymes typically end?

• -ose
• -ase
• -ese
• -tic

The graph shows how enzymes affect reactions in cells. Which statement best summarizes the information shown in the graph?

• Enzymes increase the energy of the reactants.
• Enzymes decrease the energy level of the products.
• Enzyme decrease the activation energy of the reaction.
• Enzymes reverse the direction of the reaction.

Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from this graph?

• The optimum pH of the enzyme is 6.6.
  
• The optimum pH of the enzyme is 5.8
  
• The enzyme’s activity increases as pH increases 5.0 to 9.0
  
• The enzyme’s activity is greater around pH of 8.0 .
